1985-1996: Associate Researcher, Physical and Chemical Test Center of Jiangsu Province Research Interests:
My research interests focus on:
1) Environmental behavior, eco-toxicology, and health risk assessment of organic contaminants.
2) Innovative schemes for environmental management and remediation of organic pollution.
I am particularly interested in the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of certain persistent and/or emerging pollutants (antibiotics, pesticides, PBDEs, PAHs, and hormones) in organisms and their effects on human health.Research Grants:
